Work has started again!

Well, it has been a while since i posted any updates, but we've been busy behind the curtain acquiring parts and coming up with a game plan for this year. These are the plates I designed, and my dad machined out of some scrap aluminum. They will allow us to bolt up some wide-5 wheels (15x10) to our 4x100 bolt pattern.




We got our new Hoosiers! Got them for free too! 275 35 15. Look at the difference between stockers and those!



A quick shot of where we expect the offset to be on the rear. I used my DD because I was working on the wheel bearings, and already had the wheel off.





Another quick shot of where we expect the offset to be on the front.

I liked your idea with the custom wide five adapters. I've been scraching my head trying to come up with an adapter for my 4x100 so I can run a 15x10 wheel while keeping it inside the already flared fenders. This looks like the most economical solution. Tell me please, where you sourced the aluminum, what thickness and cost. Appears to be 1/2" x 11" diameter.

By the way, if you are looking to add an anodised color to those adapters, take a look at this link:

Thanks! Good job!
